Remnant questline question (Esquiline)

[Di Warde]

During remnant questline about void sprites I am asked to get stuff and researcher from Esquiline. Apparently 1 bunk and 8 tons of free cargo required.

I've got a puffin for exactly that. 1/2 bunks and 8 ton cargo free. But after landing I keep getting a message, that I don't meet aforementioned reuirements.
What can I do?
I freed all cargo. The only problem I can see, that I have a quest 'Transport mister Eyes" Maybe Mr Eyes takes a bunk? I don't really want to progress FW questline though...
How I can mange which ship my passenger takes?

Mr. Eyes does take up a bunk, yes. Also, having enough space in your fleet should solve the problem.
Even so, completing the Mr. Eyes mission does not automatically give you the next mission, you will need to visit the space port to trigger that.

Thanks. That did the trick.

In general, any mission that has a person or more accompany you for a mission, will require a bunk for that person. Both in the sense that you need to have a free one to take it, and that a bunk will be occupied for as long as that mission is active. Regardless of what you do and where you are. You can take someone on a ride around the galaxy for no reason. (or because you forgot them)

It really is almost the same as mission cargo taking up cargo space all the time until you finish what you are doing with it.

Mission descriptions generally include something about "bring X to Y" or "travel to Y with X" or "travel to Y so X can do Z" and on the missions tab you can check your active missions (top right corner) if you feel like you have fewer bunks than you should.

Much like mission cargo, there is no way to manually "drop" or "store" the mission personnel. Only destruction of the ship they are on will remove them (failing the mission in the process). Aside from cancelling the mission, of course.

Oh and don't forget, on any take-off the game will dynamically redistribute your cargo and people across the your fleet, aiming to keep as many bunks and cargo space on your flagship as free as possible.

worth noting on this one, you can have a second ship in orbit with additional bunks (ie your usual flagship that cant land on gas giants) and still complete the quest without issues.
